A Day at Home series was also captured in a crumbling interior, and explores the relationship between the imagined and the real within the context of the home. “I am a writer and a filmmaker as well as an artist, and at the time I conceived of this series, I was writing a lot of screenplays at home. When I write, my sense of reality stretches and I start giving names to doorknobs and other things around me – so I wanted to explore that blurring boundary between reality and fiction in a domestic setting,” she says. “The mindscape of the home is both a prison and an absolute freedom: it can open into any sort of space, because you can create your own world in your mind.”

The black and white images, shot on medium format film and shown within the context of their original negative, are like surreal fragments of a dream or nightmare. Using long and double exposures as well as props and distorting mirrors, her camera becomes a portal into the mind of a fictional character.
